The Ideal Vacation Land ^ \ 





Thou who wouldst see the lovely and the wild 
Mingled in hannony on Nature's face, 
Ascend our rocky mountains. 

— Bryant. 

HAT so many thousand people go to Colorado 
each season for a period of rest or recreation, 
must suggest to those who have never experienced 
the delights of an outing in the Rockies, that 
there are strong reasons for it. 

Colorado is a land of clear, pure air and golden sunshine. 
It is a broad land of lofty mountain peaks and canon depths, of 
undulating plain and high plateau. It is a land of tumbling, 
sparkling mountain streams and mirrored lakes. It is a land of 
numerous varieties of fish and fowl, where larger game in all its 
native wildness roam the more remote and less accessible moun- 
tain forests and verdant parks. 

Colorado will satisfy your most exacting demand for health, 
or rest or sport. Convention is forgotten. The desire for 
enjoyment, from restful quiet to venturesome quest, may be grati- 
fied, and in such a way as to captivate and draw you back 
another time to feast your senses in this land of enchantment. 

Colorado affords so great a variety of delights that there need 
not be a dull moment. It is preeminently the place to do things 
and to enjoy immensely the doing. One who seeks the pleasure 
of convivial company may have it in abundance. One who 
craves quiet solitude in which to escape the bondage of routine, 
forget the whirl of business or social life, and to get close to 
Nature in a mountain camp, finds in the Colorado Rockies a 
wealth of opportunities. 



Those who are not ready to rehnquish the comforts and 
conveniences of city life, will find excellent hotels, or less pre- 
tentious stopping places in Colorado's numerous resorts, where 
every wish may be gratified at reasonable cost. 

Colorado's central location and ready accessibility from any 
section of the country, is a very important factor in its popularity. 

There are one-night trains from Chicago, St. Louis and 
Kansas City, with equally good service from a score of other 
large cities in the middle west. And it is but a two-nights' trip 
from the Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky Mountains. 

With the 'double purpose of making it easy of reach for 
those of moderate purse and the Mecca of the many, the custom 
is to grant, throughout the summer, very low fares for the round- 
trip to Colorado from all quarters. 

Denver, Colorado Springs, Manitou and Glenwood Springs 
are the best known and most popular of Colorado's resorts. It 
may seem odd to include Denver, a city of 200,000, in this cate- 
gory, but it belongs there. Denver is a summer resort, as well 
as a rich and beautiful city. It is a place where one could spend a 
month to excellent advantage. It is the best starting point for 
many attractive one-day trips to and through the mountains. 
It has beautiful parks, summer gardens, scores of good restaurants, 
hundreds of boarding houses and a street railway system that has

few equals. The mountains are only fifteen miles away and 
afford a never ending source of interest. 

Colorado Springs is the home of several thousand unusually 
well-to-do and exceptionally cultivated people from all parts of 
the world. It has fewer hotels than Denver, and their variety, 
especially in the matter of price, is not so great. But for the 
man or woman who wants to get away from the noise and 
tumult of a big city, and yet feels the need of having right at 
hand the conveniences and comforts of metropolitan life, Colo- 
rado Springs is ideal. 

Manitou, while much smaller than Colorado Springs, enter- 
tains more people in the course of a summer, and is essentially a 
pleasure resort. In this respect it differs from Colorado Springs, 
which is primarily a city of homes. Manitou has half a dozen 
large hotels and perhaps twice as many smaller ones, to say 
nothing of innumerable boarding houses. The springs and hotel 
ballrooms are Manitou 's centers of activity. 



Glenwood Springs, with its famous baths, lies in the very 
heart of the Rockies, about 300 miles west of Colorado Springs. 
Its location is magnificent, in a valley through which flows one 
of the largest of Colorado's rivers. 

Colorado is fortunate in possessing a number of resorts that 
are "different" from the general run of summering places. 
Estes Park is such a place, Wagon Wheel Gap, Eldorado Springs 
and Manitou Park are others. So, in a way, are the pretty 
lodges in Platte Canon. So are any number of the smaller 
towns and resort places in the interior. They are located on the 
sides of mountains, on the banks of streams where famous fish- 
ing is to be had, or near springs whose waters come bubbling to 
the earth's surface— queer of taste, hot to the touch, but of great 
therapeutic value. 

These are the places that are truly and typically Coloradan. 
These are the places where one gets in close touch with Mother 
Earth; where, for the first time in years, perhaps, one fully 
realizes how beautiful is the blue sky and how fine is a breath 
of air, fresh from snowy peaks. 

He who would see Dame Nature in her sweetest moods hies 
himself to these out-of-the-way places and for a period his letters 
bear queer superscriptions, while he revels in all the loveliness 
with which she delights to surround herself in Colorado. 

To see Colorado to best advantage go first to Denver 
or Colorado Springs. There one can get one's bearings.

Denver's Greeting 

They are the tourist's headquarters, the railroad and business 
centers of the State, the places from which all roads lead into 
the interior. North of Denver is a rich, irrigated region; east, 
the rolling plains, sloping gently towards the Missouri; west, a 
veritable "sea of mountains; south lie those gems of cities, 
Colorado Springs and Manitou, and beyond is Pueblo— the 
' ' Pittsburg of the West. " 

What sort of clothing to wear in Colorado, depends largely 
on what you intend doing there. If you expect to spend most, 
if not all, of your time in the cities, rather than to * rough it," 
you should take with you clothing of the weight and texture you 
would wear at home at that time of year. A light overcoat, or 
wrap, a pair of stout shoes, a soft hat and an old suit— these 
for mountain climbing, etc. — are also desirable. You will, of 
course, have with you clothing for all the social occasions that 
are likely to arise.

y/;?^/ mountains, that like giants stand, 
To sentinel enchanted land. 

— Scott. 

HE Alps have isolated peaks such as Mont Blanc 
(15,781 feet), and the Matterhorn (14,836 
feet) ; the mean elevation of the highest Alpine 
chain is only from 8,000 to 9,000 feet. Colo- 
rado possesses more than 120 peaks of over 
13,500 feet, of v^^hich no fevs^er than thirty-five are higher than 
14,000 feet. 

The highest village in Europe is Avers Platz in Switzerland 
(7,500 feet). The highest inhabited point in Europe is the 
Hospice of St. Bernard in Switzerland (8,200 feet). In Colo- 
rado the mining town of Leadville, with 15,000 inhabitants, is 
over 10,000 feet above sea level. Other mining camps are still 
higher and some gold and silver mines are worked at an eleva- 
tion of over 13,000 feet. 

The celebrated Jungfrau Railway in Switzerland, which is 
the highest in Europe, ascends a mountain with a maximum 
elevation of 13,720 feet. In Colorado the Colorado & South- 
ern — Gray's Peak Route, reaches the summit of Mt. McClellan, 
an elevation of 14,007 feet; the Colorado Midland Railway 
crosses the mountains through Busk Tunnel in the Hagerman 
Pass at an elevation of 10,944 feet; the Denver, Northwestern & 
Pacific Ry. , Moffat Road, crosses the divide at Corona, 11,660 
feet ; and the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad crosses the conti- 
nental divide at Fremont Pass, 11,330 feet, Marshall Pass, 
10,856 feet, and at Tennessee Pass, 10,240 feet. There are 
wagon roads over numerous passes in Colorado ranging from 




On the Way to Cripple Creek 

12,000 feet upwards, Mosquito Pass (13,185), being the 
highest. 

In Switzerland the cog-railroad from Vitznau to the summit 
of the Rigi Kulm (5,900 feet), has a length of four and a halt 
miles, in which the ascent is 4,072 feet. In Colorado the cog- 
railroad from Manitou to the summit of Pike's Peak (14,108 
feet) has a length of eight and three-quarters miles, in which 
the ascent is 8,100 feet or an average of 846 feet per mile, the 
maximum grade being 1,320 feet per mile. 

In Switzerland 8,500 feet is the usual line of perpetual snow. 
In Colorado the "timber line" is 11,000 feet. 

Davos Platz (5,200 feet) in Switzerland is considered the 
most desirable of the high altitude health resorts of Europe. 
The leading climatologists and specialists of London, Glasgow, 
New York and Boston say that Colorado is far superior to 
Davos Platz for pulmonary and kindred troubles, having a higher 
average temperature, less rainfall, less humidity, and about twice 
the number of hours of sunshine. 




Colorado's Highest Peak—Mt Massive 

Every year sees the arrival in Colorado, as permanent resi- 
dents, of increasing numbers of people who have tried Davos 

Platz. 

The attractions of Colorado are not confined to great alti- 
tudes, vast canons and seas of plains. Climate figures most 
conspicuously. 

It is only within recent years, however, that the world has 
awakened to the fact that Colorado's climate is delightful the 
year round. The special characteristics of its climate are mini- 
mum precipitation, low humidity and maximum sunshme. 
There are a few cold days in winter and some hot days in sum- 
mer; but the absence of humidity minimizes the effects of both. 
Hot nights are unknown, while a winter's residence in Colorado 
will forever banish the idea that it is a boreal country, given over 
to inclemency and snow.

Oh, what have I to do with Time ? 
For this the day was ?iiade. 

■ — Emerson. 




HERE are at least a half dozen resorts in Colo- 
rado where one may be happily occupied every 
hour in the day. At some of them, Colorado 
Springs and Manitou for example, there are so 
many ways of passing time that one is frequently 
placed in the embarrassing position of having to decide off-hand 
between golf, polo, riding, driving, tennis, cricket, coaching, 
bathing or automobiling, each presenting the maximum of 
pleasure inherent to the sport. 

In Colorado, golf is always in season. When Eastern links 
are buried in snow and sodden with rain and thawing frost, the 
Colorado golfer is pursuing the elusive ball over fair green, 
through sand traps and bunkers from year's end to year's end. 
From July to January, from January to July, the battle goes on 
against Colonel Bogey," who never dies and seldom surren- 
ders. The keen and invigorating mountain air, the sparkling 
sunshine and the sight of snow-clad mountains constantly tempt 
one to make golf the real business of life. 

Denver has a large coterie of enthusiasts and fine courses. 
At no point in the State, however, is the game more popular 
than at Colorado Springs. At this famous resort are two of the 
best courses in the West. The Town and Gown Golf Club 
has an excellent and very attractive eighteen-hole course. 
Harry Varden pronounced it the sportiest course I ever played 
over." It is over six thousand yards long, on the eastern edge 




On the Green 

of the city, within easy access of town by trolley car, wheel 
or carriage. The course covers a tract of 100 acres of sandy 
loam, overgrown with short buffalo grass. There is no lack of 
hazards. They consist of "arroyos,' ' irrigating ditches, bunkers 
and sand traps, so placed that accurate play is at a premium. 
A topped ball stops in rough ground, while a slice or a pull lands 
it out of bounds or in a trap. As in all dry climates, the putting 
greens are of sand. They are true and accurate after a player 
has gauged their speed. 

The clubhouse is of the bungalow type, extremely attractive 
and up-to-date. 

The older club of Colorado Springs, where the game is 
played at a " cloud height," is known as the Cheyenne Mountain 
Country Club, located at Broadmoor, and easily reached by a 
twenty-minute trolley ride. The course is laid out at the foot 
of Cheyenne Mountain and consists of eighteen holes. Groves 
of scrub oaks, creeks and draws furnish natural hazards. The 
scenery is remarkably beautiful. At both of these clubs pro- 
fessionals are in attendance and guests may obtain cards. 

As for polo, Denver, Colorado Springs and Glenwood have 
as fine fields as are to be found anywhere in the country. Cricket 
and tennis are in high favor, while the excellence of Colorado's 
roads has contributed more, perhaps, than anything else to make 
automobiling popular. The boulevard from Denver to Colorado 
Springs and Pueblo skirts the foothills and commands an unsur- 
passed view of the mountains.

-Tennyson. 




OLORADO is a veritable paradise for sportsmen. 
It has six thousand miles of trout streams and five 
hundred lakes that lie high up in the mountain 
ranges, mesas and parks. These streams abound 
with several species of native trout, such as the 
black spotted trout i^salmo j^z'/wrz/j-), which has a pure white flesh of 
fine fibre, and sahno purpwatus , sometimes called sahno Virginalus, 
which has red flesh. There is also the yellow finned trout 
(salmo mykis) found in Twin Lakes, Lake County, as well as 
several other native varieties found in the Frying Pan River, the 
South Platte River, the Bear River, the White River, the Grand 
River, Grand Lake and other streams. 

For ten years past Colorado has had a State Fish Hatchery 
near Denver, and more recently branch hatcheries at Twin Lakes, 
Gunnison and Durango. The United States Government has 
also established a very large hatchery at Evergreen Lake, near 
Leadville. From these establishments millions of young fish are 
turned into the streams of the State each year. Among the 
varieties which have been introduced are the Eastern brook trout, 
now regarded by some as a char {salmo or salvelinus-fontinalis) , 
a red and yellow speckled trout; the European brook trout {salmo 
irridea) ; the yellow salmon trout {salmo sebage^ , introduced from 
Maine ; the Mackinaw trout (sahno confinis) ; the Loch Levin trout 
from Scotland ; and the famous Lake Tahoe trout from Nevada

The streams of Colorado equal those of Maine for sport, 
while the superiority of scenery, climate and comparative free- 
dom from mosquitoes give Colorado a decided advantage for a 
fishing holiday. 

In the wilder parts of the higher mountains and parks and in 
the more remote portions of the lower country are : Mountain 
lion or panther, black bear, cinnamon bear, grizzly bear, silver 
tipped bear, wild cat, lynx, wolf, coyote, porcupine, fox, badger, 
beaver, also black-tailed deer, elk, antelope, grouse, duck, goose, 
snipe, crane, rabbit, squirrel, mountain quail and dove. These 
animals may be found near the head-waters of the Arkansas, the 

Prying Pan, the Rio Grande del 
Norte, the Roaring Fork, the Gun- 
nison, the Yampa, the Grand, the 
White, the San Miguel, the San 
Juan and other rivers. All these 
points are easily reachedby railroad. 

Game Laws of Colorado. 

The detailed Game and Fish 
laws of Colorado can be procured 
upon application to the State Game

Mountain sheep, antelope and 
elk, having horns, are protected by 
game laws until 1911. Bobwhite 
quail and crested quail are pro- 
tected until 1920. 

The open season for prairie 
chickens and grouse extends from 
August 20th to October 1st, and

Nor these alone, but every landscape fair 

As Jit for every mood of mind 
Or gay or grave, or sweet or stern — was there 

Not less than truth designed. 

— Tennyson. 




O more comprehensive word picture has ever 

been presented of the Pike's Peak region than 

that painted by Mr. Geo. Rex Buckman : 

"The Rocky Mountains, in their majestic 

sweep through the North American continent, 

culminate midway in their course and within the limits of the State 

of Colorado. Here is the * Crest of the Continent' — its supremest 

uplift — where from a vast central plateau, itself six thousand 

feet above the sea, rise hundreds of granite peaks into the regions 

of perpetual snow. Here the waters of a continent are divided 

and great rivers flowing to either ocean have their source. 

Here are carions and gorges, awe-inspiring and stupendous, 

which testify to the hoary age of the mountains they cut asunder; 

and a score of peak-encircled parks, any one of which might 

constitute a principality. Here are the continent's treasure 

vaults, where veins of gold and silver seam the granite mountains. 

Here are medicinal springs for healing and refreshment; and 

here, under skies of deepest blue, lies a sun-bathed land with a 

climate whose delights and perfections the lowland dweller may 

not know. 

"Scarcely more than three decades have passed since this 

region was a terra incognita, the hunting ground of the Indian 
and the home of wild beasts. Three hundred miles to north- 
ward had swept the stream of the California Argonauts, to whom 




these culminating ranges 
had been but gigantic 
barriers blocking their 
way to the Golden Gate 
and the El Dorado of 
their dreams. Far to 
southward lay the Santa 
Fe Trail — that dusty 
highway strewn with the 
bleaching bones of man 
and beast, which linked 
the western outposts of 
our civilization with the 
ancient land of the Span- 
iard and with all the 
mystery and charm of 
the sunny Southwest. 
Far removed from the 
highways across the 
plains, these mighty 
mountains had heretofore remained untrodden by the foot of the 
emigrant or trader; only a few adventurous explorers had as 
yet penetrated their fastness. And to all of these the chief guid- 
ing beacon had been a single snowy peak, visible for fifty leagues, 



A Libation to the Gods 




Man'ttou and Pikers Peak 

that rose companionless from its brown foothills and from the 
very edge of the Great Plains. 

'*If the thought had ever arisen in the minds of the early 
explorers that a city should some day be planted at the foot of 
Pike's Peak, it had no doubt been quickly dismissed as the flight 
of a too exuberant fancy; but when in 1870 Gen. William J. 
Palmer started his Denver & Rio Grande Railway southward 
from the frontier settlement at Denver, these seemingly Utopian 
dreams were not far from realization. For among the many 
projects connected with the material conquest and development 
of the new region, not the least important was that of the found- 
ing of a little city which should from the beginning present 
especial attractions to the invalid and valetudinarian. That this 
city should be located in the Pike's Peak region was a foregone 
conclusion. Accordingly, a tract of ten thousand acres was pur- 
chased and a course of intelligent and generous expenditure 
entered upon by the Colorado Springs Company. Thousands of 
trees were planted along the avenues of the new city and costly 
irrigation works constructed, making possible the umbrageous 
avenues and shrubbery-dotted lawns which to-day delight the eye 
of every visitor and form one of the city's chief attractions. 




A Beauty Spot in Palmer Park 



** From the beginning the growth of the little city was steady, 
and at times rapid. Wisely directed must have been this growth, 
for the visitor of to-day finds here at the foot of Pike's Peak — 
albeit generally to his surprise — a city of 35,000 inhabitants, 
with abundant evidences on every hand of continued prosperity 
and growth ; its shaded avenues lined with beautiful and, in many 
cases, costly residences, with fine hotels and handsome business 
blocks; possessing a water system costing ;^3,500,000, by which 
the purest water is piped from crystal lakes high up on the side 
of Pike's Peak; lighted by electricity, supplied with an extended 
telephone system and having many miles of electric railway, 
perhaps the most modern system in the West ; complete modern 
sewerage; numerous and costly pubhc school buildings and 
highly favored as the seat of Colorado College ; having a hand- 
some opera house and six clubs, two of which occupy their own 
magnificent homes, costing over ;^150,000; with many hand- 
some and costly church edifices and numerous sanitariums, hos- 
pitals and other charitable institutions; with a casino, to find 



whose equal in elegance and completeness one must visit the 
most noted of the Old World spas — a city, indeed, affording to 
residents and visitors all the conveniences and comforts and a 
large share of the advantages and pleasure incident to modern 
city life, yet lying ever in the majestic presence of the over- 
shadowing mountains and close to Nature's heart. 

Colorado Springs in many respects is unique; one may 
search the world over and not find another city exactly like it. 
To the newcomer it is an anomaly, albeit a charming one. His 
first glances fail to reveal the basis upon which rests this evident 
prosperity and growth. No large manufactories are seen send- 
ing forth volumes of smoke; the surrounding country is mani- 
festly inadequate to support such a city. But he is not long in 
discovering that, whatever the city's future may be by reason of 
its importance as a railroad center and the continued develop- 
ment of the rich mines in its immediate vicinity, however these 
may mould its future, it owes its present importance and pecu- 
liar character in largest measure to the fact that it possesses 
a climate of remarkable health-restoring qualities and delightful 
at all seasons of the year, and to the further fact that its scenery 
in grandeur and variety is unrivaled upon the continent. Climate 
and scenery, then, are the chief foundation stones upon which 
this beautiful and attractive city has been built."

*'The empire of climate," wrote Montesquieu, is the most 
powerful of all empires;" the settlement of the Rocky Moun- 
tain region in general and of Colorado Springs in particular 
bears testimony to the truth of this assertion. More potent than 
all the gold and silver in her mountains and all the abounding 
resources of a virgin land has been her health-giving and health- 
restoring climate in planting upon these upland plateaus a popu- 
lation drawn from almost every quarter of the globe. 

Manitou, the Saratoga of the West, is close under the very 
shadow of Pike's Peak, almost surrounded by lofty mountains, 
at the entrance to the Ute Pass, and but a little way from the 
Ruxton and Williams caiions; its fountains of health have 
bubbled and blessed mankind for centuries. The Indians 
knew them and knew their worth, and named them reverently 
after the Great Spirit, by which cognomen the place is known 
to-day. There are fourteen springs in all, no two alike, and 
one the largest soda spring in the world. Some of the waters, 
charged with their own gas, are bottled for table use, and shipped 
extensively; others are used where they flow, for bathing. Five 
large hotels and many smaller ones and boarding houses are fully 
occupied in the season by those who, by experience, have 
proven the efficacy of these waters. Fashion long ago stamped 
Manitou with her approval, and this irregular, secluded, moun- 
tain-bound village is alive in summer with all the gayety of 




Cliff Dwellers'' Ruins — Manitou 

youth J the altitude adding much to the exuberance of spirits 
ever manifest. 

Manitou presents this season a new attraction in the CHff 
Dwellers ruins, which were brought from the southern part of 
the State and reconstructed with great care in their original form. 
All the materials, it is claimed, are from the original dwellings 
and are so ingeniously reassembled as to excite the favorable 
comment of expert archaeologists and scientists. 

The ruins are easy of access, being but a five-minute ride or 
a ten-minute walk from the car line. To add to the interest 
which naturally attaches to these features of prehistoric life, a 
group of Navajo Indians are present to amuse the visitors with 
their strange dances, fantastic costumes and wonderful arts of 
rug weaving and pottery making. 

Few more inspiring drives are possible than that from Colo- 
rado Springs northwest across the flower-strewn mesa toward 
Glen Eyre and the Garden of the Gods. Out on the high 
plateau the dry, thin air tingles with electricity and the sky is 
a cloudless azure. To our right the plains lie in illimitable 




The Garden of the Gods 

expanse. Before us arises in solemn majesty Pike's Peak, with 
neighboring elevations apparently as high. We note the haze 
upon the summit and the barrenness of desolation that marks it; 
lower down the timber line, above which nothing appears to 
grow, and lower still the various forms of vegetation. 

These silent mountains are always company. 

But see! the Garden of the Gods! Here indeed one's fancy 
may run free. Untrammeled by human limitations Nature has 
outdone herself. If this be not the Garden of the Gods, 'twas 
here they must have toiled to lend enchantment to the earth. 

We see here rocks in strangely garish colors, red and yellow 
and white, in enormous masses, lofty buttresses, towers and 
pinnacles, besides formations of lesser size, in fantastic shapes 
that readily lend themselves to the imagination, and in which one 
sees as many pictures as in a fire of coals on a winter night, or 
the clouds of heaven in a summer sky. 

Geologists tell us that these are sedimentary strata, which 
once lay horizontally upon the mountain's breast, but that some 
gigantic convulsion of nature threw them into their present 



perpendicular attitude, with their roots, as it were, extending 
hundreds of feet underground. The erosion of water, when 
this was all the Gulf of Mexico, accounts for the shaping. 

The gateway to the Garden is really the grandest feature, 
rising perpendicularly on either side twice the height of Niagara, 
and framing in rich terra cotta a most entrancing picture of the 
blue and tawny peak, apparently only a little way on the 
other side. But once within the majestic portals, gifted with a 
lively imagination, one may see without end the grotesque or 
grand, as the spirit moves.

HERE are innumerable interesting trips which 
may be made in the vicinity, a few of which are 
here suggested. 

Stratton Park — Four and a half miles 
southwest of Colorado Springs, at the entrance 
to North and South Cheyenne Caiions. A beautiful pleasure 
ground dotted with several small lakes, where band concerts and 
other excellent attractions are provided. Electric cars directly 
to the entrance. 

Palmer Park — A natural park, the gift of Gen. Wm. J. 
Palmer, two miles northeast of Colorado Springs, intersected 
with fine driveways and bridle paths, affording one of the finest 
views of Pike's Peak, the great front range and the vast 
plains. Two magnificent boulevards connect it with Colorado 
Springs. 

Cheyenne Canons, North and South — Their entrances 
five miles southwest of Colorado Springs, may be reached by 
electric railway, affording frequent service. North Canon, open 
to the public with its three-mile drive, discovers numerous cas- 
cades and wonderful rock formations and leads into Bear Creek 
Caiion drive. An admission fee is required by the owners of 
the South Canon, which, among other interesting features, 
includes the Seven Falls. 



Cheyenne Mountain — A carriage road climbs Cheyenne 
Mountain to Seven Lakes and the summit of Pike' s Peak, afford- 
ing magnificent views. 

RuxTON AND Williams' Canons, Cave of the Winds 
AND Ute Pass — Five miles west of Colorado Springs. Trail 
to Pike's Peak traverses Ruxton Canon. The Grand Caverns 
are in Ute Pass, and the Cave of the Winds, to which an admis- 
sion fee is required, is in Williams' Canon. 

Glen Eyrie — The home of Gen. William J. Palmer, open 
to the public. Three and a half miles northwest of Colorado 
Springs. Rock formations similar to those in Garden of the 
Gods. Echo Rocks and Major Domo deserve special note. 

RoswELL Park — Two miles north of Colorado Springs. 
Fine horse and bicycle tracks, stables, grand stands, etc. 

Monument Valley Park — Extending north from the Rock 
Island station two and a half miles. A most elaborate and 
beautiful parking system, with walks, lakes, falls, mineral springs, 
floral displays and pavilions, Japanese bridges, fountains, espla- 
nades and Italian sunken basins. 




Pastimes at Broadmoor 




A Visit with the Pioneers 

Bruin Inn — A romantic log cabin for rest and refreshment, 
located at the head of North Cheyenne Canon. 

Broadmoor Casino — Two and a half miles southwest 
of Colorado Springs, on Cheyenne Lake. A magnificent 
resort; boating, golf, mountain climbing. Reached by carriage 
road and electric railway, with frequent service. 

Cheyenne Mountain Country Club (Broadmoor) — 
Tennis, baseball, cricket, polo, bowling and excellent golf links. 
Two weeks' card on proper introduction.

Among the Wild Flower. 



Bear Creek and North Cheyenne Circle Drive — A 
fine road, connecting the two scenic gorges, starting at entrance 
of North Cheyenne and coming out over the Bear Creek road 
and Colorado City boulevard, is most delightful. 

Seven Lakes — Pretty mountain lakes, altitude 11,800 feet, 
owned by the city of Colorado Springs for reserve water supply. 
Most conveniently reached by the "Short Line" to Clyde sta- 
tion, 30 miles, thence by trail and carriage road three and a 
half miles. Popular camping ground. Good fishing. 

Crystal Park Trail — This new and wonderful bridle 
trail gives extraordinary views. Crystal Park, 1,500 feet above 
Manitou, contains an abundance of beautiful crystals. 

Ute Pass Resorts — Reached by Colorado Midland Railway 
direct or by stage connection, include Manitou, Cascade Canon, 
Ute Park, Green Mountain Falls, Crystola, Woodland Park, 
Skeltons Mountain Ranch and Manitou Park, all notable and 
furnishing accommodations for summer tourists in hotels, cot- 
tages or tents. The Pass abounds in rocky gorges and the 
scenery is remarkable. Occasional meadows and warm slopes 



are brilliant with wild flowers. During the summer weekly and 
special "wild flower excursion" trains are run to Spinney, sixty 
miles west. The trains are composed of open observation cars 
and stop frequently to allow excursionists to gather wild flowers 
and secure pictures. At Cascade Caiion begins the wagon road 
to the summit of Pike's Peak. 

Pueblo — Because of the Bessemer plant of the Colorado 
Fuel and Iron Co., the largest ore smelter and manufacturing 
plant located there, Pueblo has been called the ''Pittsburgh of 
the West." 

Situated at what might be termed the head of the rich Arkan- 
sas valley, it is the market place for all of the products of this 
two-hundred-mile stretch of rich, irrigated farm land, with its 
alfalfa, melons, sugar beets, live stock, garden and dairy products, 
and thrifty orchards. 

Pueblo is particularly fortunate in her climate, with three- 
hundred sunshiny days per year and a temperature equable to 
a marked degree. There are numerous large hotels, several 
theatres, gas and electric lighting systems and a street railway. 
The Rock Island line, extending from Colorado Springs south- 
ward, terminates at Pueblo.

LTHOUGH there are at least twenty-five loftier 
mountain tops in Colorado, Pike's Peak is the 
eminence which is first thought of in connection 
with the Colorado Rockies. It is first to be 
inquired for by the "tenderfoot" and first to be 
pointed out by the Pullman porter or enterprising newsboy. 
One reason for this is that from its position in the first eastern 
range it can be seen one hundred miles away, and its white top 
has been a landmark ever since its discoverer, after whom it is 
named, despairingly said that its top would probably never be 
trodden by mortal man. But to-day one may start from the 
foot of General Pike's statue in Colorado Springs and in less 
than three hours, with no more exertion than is necessary to 
board an ordinary railway train, find himself at the very summit. 
So far as mere ascent is concerned. Pike' s Peak has been as 
thoroughly conquered as any mountain of equal height. There 
are five ways in which the summit may be reached ; on foot, on 
horseback, by burro, by carriage or by rail, the last being the 
easiest and most expeditious. 

One may travel over several hundred thousand miles of steel 
rails in this country and find nothing like the eight and three- 
fourths miles of cog railroad which connects Manitou with the 




On Summit of Pikers Peak 



top of Pike's Peak, and which to traverse is one of the sensa- 
tions, as it is one of the privileges, of a hfetime. 

Think of it ! To be steadily, irresistibly and safely carried 
up an average grade of eight hundred and forty-six feet to the 
mile till you light nearly three miles above the level of the sea ! 

The cars, each seating fifty passengers, are constructed so 
that the wonderful view may not be obstructed, and the seats are 
so arranged that the occupants have a level sitting, at all times. 
In the ascent the locomotive goes behind and pushes, and in the 
descent precedes the train. It is probably the safest, as well as 
the most astonishing railroad in the world. There is nothing 
in fact that need deter anyone able to travel at all from making 
this trip — one never to be forgotten. 

The view of the plains and the adjacent mountains, the 
peaks and canons, vegetation and no vegetation — 'great rough 
seams in the mountain sides, as if fire and water had been at 
work for ages to waste and overturn ; dreary areas of red and 
brown and gray rocks; masses of timber; bits of green in the 
far down valley. Nature everywhere in her original forms, and 
her abounding waste of wealth;" all this, increasing in extent, 



in interest and in majesty as the car goes upward, forms one 
grand crescendo of vision, such as under no other circumstances 
ever falls to the lot of man to behold. 

There is one trip out of Colorado Springs which is the quin- 
tessence of Colorado — mountains, plains, rocks, canons, rail- 
roads, beauty, sublimity, thrills, wonder, admiration, geological 
phenomena, and the greatest gold-mining camp on the continent 
— all reduced to a ten-hour limit. 

The great gold mining camp of Cripple Creek is reached 
from Colorado Springs by two railroads. Along each the scenery 
is grand and inspiring, and yet somewhat different. From the 
Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Railway view upon 
view follows with dramatic rapidity — a magnificent glimpse of 
the plains is had, of Colorado Springs, its beautiful southern 
suburb, Broadmoor, Cheyenne Caiion, and from one spot the 
smoking chimneys of Pueblo, forty-five miles away. The 
Midland Route (Midland Terminal to Divide, Colorado 




From Point Sublime en route to Cripple Creek 




He 



armon 



Falls 



Midland to Colorado Springs) passes to the north of Pike's Peak 
through the canons of Ute Pass instead of on the mountain side, 
and the crossing of the range from Divide presents magnificent 
views of summits from 9,000 to 11,000 feet in height. It is a 
good plan to go by one route and return by the other, making 
the "swing around Pike's Peak." Observation cars permit 
full enjoyment of the scenic grandeur. 

Cripple Creek is one of the most important mining districts 
in the world — exceeding' in the value of its output anything in 
California or Alaska. In most camps gold is only a by-product, 
more actual value resulting from the deposits of lead and silver 
with which the gold is mingled; but here gold is supreme. 
Purely, therefore, from a spectacular point of view, or that of 
the tourist, this country, high in air, presents the most interesting 
industrial exhibit on the globe. Here, hidden deep in the granite's 
close embrace, is the treasure for which so many human beings 
the world over are ceaselessly striving. Far beyond the simple 
appliances of the old-time miner, and as impossible to reach with 



unaided human hands as if it were in the very center of the earth, 
these treasures of the mountains yield themselves only to the 
impact of drills driven by electricity. Enormous pov^^er and 
enormous capital are both necessary to work the mines of Victor 
and Cripple Creek. Everything is on a big scale — the machin- 
ery, the force of workmen, the management generally. 

To see the location of practically all the principal mines in 
this district one has only to take, on arriving at Cripple Creek 
the high-line division of the electric terminal to Victor, and 
return to Cripple Creek the other way. This can be done easily 
during the few hours spent there; and, in addition, the view of 
the great Sangre de Cristo range of mountains, fifty miles away, 
from the electric car line, would be worth all the trouble, had 
one till then been blindfolded. Gold mines, such as are found 
here, afford rare interest, but that view of the mountains is the 
climax, the apex, the acme of this great excursion.

The Mountain Capital 




i^ 



T^at hamlet now a city is, 
Its log-built huts are palaces; 

And overlooks on either hand 
A rich and many-watered land. 

— Whittier. 




HE first seekers after gold in Colorado, along in 
1858, erected their log cabins in the meadows 
where Cherry Creek joins the South Platte River. 
They builded better than they knew, for no finer 
site for a great city could have been selected. 
Here were broad, level meadows, stretching in gentle slopes to 
the streams, and constituting an ideal location for a center of 
commercial activity. Denver is near enough to the mountains 
to get the full benefit of the breezes that in summer blow steadily 
from their snowy heights, and far enough away from them to 
escape the uncertain weather conditions, where the air currents 
from the plains meet those from the peaks. The mountains 
rise to the west of the city. Their ragged outline may be 
followed against the sky for more than two hundred miles— from 
Pike's Peak on the south to Laramie Peaks on the north. 

Denver, which is the capital of and the largest city in Colo- 
rado, with a population of 200,000, has an elevation of 5,200 
feet above sea level, and was named after Gen. James W. 
Denver, first Governor of Kansas Territory, of which Colorado 
was then a part. 

It has 172 miles of street car lines; 192 churches; 68 public 
school buildings; 11 colleges and academies; a public library 
containing 100,000 volumes; 4 daily papers; 22 clubs; 23

enver 



hospitals and asylums; 7 national banks, 7 state banks, 3 trust com- 
panies, financial institutions having resources aggregating $65,- 
000,000; 24 parks with a total area of 1,100 acres, one of them 
covering an area of 330 acres; 12 theatres; 2 summer gardens; 
numerous hotels and the finest summer climate of any city in 
America. 

There are innumerable beautiful residences, and these are so 
general that the statement has been made that no city in the 
country can boast of so large a proportion of attractive and artis- 
tic homes. The public parks, easy of access, are maintained 
with great care and few cities can offer their equal in beauty and 
interest. 

Denver has more good hotels than any American city of 
twice its size, and, if you except San Francisco and Los Angeles, 
a greater number of interesting one-day excursion trips than any 
other city on the continent. 




from Capitol HiL 

The quickest and, in many respects, the best way to see 
Denver, is by means of the Seeing Denver" cars and automo- 
biles which make the circuit of the city frequently each day 
during the summer season. These cars leave from the Brown 
Palace Hotel, and take one not only through the city itself, but 
through the suburbs. The distance covered is about twenty 
miles, and the fare is only fifty cents on cars and seventy-five 
cents in automobile. A competent man accompanies the car 
and points out objects of interest. 

Many of the most interesting localities in Colorado may be 
visited, and some of the grandest scenery in the world may be 
viewed in the course of a day's journey from Denver. Several 
of the one-day excursion trips from Denver are indicated in the 
following pages. The information as to the hours of departure 
of trains from Denver should, of course, be verified after arrival 
in that city. 




The Georgetown Loop^' en route to Gray's Peak 



The Georgetown "Loop" and Mt. McClellan — 
The train, carrying observation cars, leaves Denver over the 
Clear Creek branch of the Colorado & Southern Railv^ay at 
convenient morning hours, arriving at the summit of Mt. 
McClellan, 70 miles distant from Denver (by rail) in early after- 
noon. The scenery is extraordinarily varied. The far-famed 
"Georgetown Loop" and mining town of Silver Plume are 
features of the trip. From Silver Plume the route is via the 
Argentine Central Railway to Mt. McClellan, whose summit 
has an elevation of 14,007 feet. This is the highest regularly 
operated railway on the continent. Gray's Peak, whose summit 
is but a short walk from where the train stops, is 233 feet higher 
than Pike's Peak and is to be the terminus of this road, which 
is called the Gray's Peak Route. All of the most prominent 
peaks, including Long's, Evan's, Pike's, and the Mount of the 
Holy Cross, are visible, as well as some in Wyoming — in all 106 
mighty giants of the Rockies. At the summit of the Argentine 
Central Line is located the Perpetual Ice Palace, one of Nature's 



wonders amid banks of everlasting snow. Saturday afternoon 
*' Sunset Excursions" are a pleasing feature of this line. 

"The Switchback" — Train leaves Denver over the 
Clear Creek branch of the Colorado & Southern Railway at 
about eight in the morning, arriving at Central City, the terminus 
of the forty-mile journey, before noon. Returning, it reaches 
Denver in time for dinner. 

EsTES Park — A beautiful natural park and mountain resort, 
northwest of Denver. Visitors leave Denver over the Lyons 
branch of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in the morn- 
ing, arriving at Lyons (forty-eight miles) before noon, and at 
the park (by stage twenty miles) before night. Or take the 
Colorado & Southern morning train from Denver to Loveland, 
where direct connection is made with automobile line, covering 
practically the same distance as other routes mentioned in three 
hours. Good fishing, excellent hotel accommodations. A good 
place to rest for a week, a fortnight or a month. 

**The Switzerland Trail" — One of the most satis- 
factory one-day excursion trips in the State and a trip the Colo- 
rado visitor should not fail to take is up the Switzerland Trail. 
Train leaves Denver over the Fort Collins branch of the 
Colorado & Southern Railway in the morning, arriving at 
Eldora and Ward, the sky-high terminals of the Colorado & 
Northwestern Railroad or "Switzerland Trail" route at noon. 
The distance from Denver is about sixty miles. Passengers are 
back in Denver in time for dinner. 




A Vista from McClellan s Summit 




Alone with Nature 



Platte Canon Resorts — Train leaves Denver over the 
Leadville line of the Colorado & Southern Railway at about eight 
in the morning; arriving at Grant, distance sixty-six miles, before 
noon, the train continues its journey over the mountains to 
Leadville. Platte Caiion is famous for its many pleasant summer 
resorts and excellent trout fishing. Passengers by the morning 
train for Grant or intermediate stations can be back in Denver 
before dark. A very considerable percentage of Colorado's 
visitors make a point of spending several days in Platte Canon. 

''Around the Horn" — Train leaves Denver over the Fort 
Collins branch of the Colorado & Southern Railway at about 
eight in the morning, and passing through Boulder, Longmont, 
Loveland, Fort Collins and other prosperous towns in the most 
flourishing agricultural section of northern Colorado, reaches 
Greeley, the home of the "Greeley potato," and the terminus 



of the outward journey of ninety-nine miles, about noon. After 
a stop for luncheon, passengers are returned to Denver, reaching 
that city in time for dinner. An exceedingly interesting trip, for 
the reason that it gives visitors an opportunity of seeing something 
of the agricultural wealth of Colorado. 




Boulder 



Boulder — The seat of the Colorado State University and 
meeting place of the Colorado Chautauqua, as well as the center 
of the northern oil fields of Colorado. Golden (seat of the 
State School of Mines and location of the State Industrial School), 
Morrison (location of the State Industrial School for Girls) and 
Fort Collins (seat of the Colorado State Agricultural College), 
are all within an hour or two's ride of Denver, over branches of 
the Colorado & Southern Railway. Boulder and Golden are 
also reached via the Union Pacific and the Denver, Lakewood 
& Golden (trolley) railroads respectively. The Denver & 
Interurban Railroad will inaugurate early in the season superb 
electric service between Denver and Boulder. 




El Dorado Springs 



El Dorado Springs — Twenty-seven miles from Denver on 
the Colorado & Southern Railway — but an hour' s ride — adjacent 
to Boulder. Nestled in picturesque South Boulder Caiion, it 
reminds the Old World tourist more, perhaps, of a typical Swiss 
village than any other town in the State. 

The scenery here is superb, combining impressive mountain 
height, sparkling waterfall and all the rest that is beautiful and 
grand in Colorado landscapes. Natural warm swimming pools 
are an added attraction. 

The Denver, Northwestern & Pacific, a projected transcon- 
tinental line locally known as *'The Moffat Road," and now in 
operation a distance of 147 miles between Denver and Yarmony, 
runs to the crest of the Continental Divide, reaching an eleva- 
tion of 11,660 feet, amid perpetual snow. The trip takes the 



tourist to the midst of snow banks during the hottest days of 
summer in a little more than three hours' ride. Tolland, where 
the green sward of Boulder Park affords a pleasant picnic ground 
for those who wish to combine this pastime with a scenic excur- 
sion, and Arrow, are intermediate stations forty-seven and seventy- 
seven miles respectively from Denver. The famous medicinal 
Sulphur Springs, 110 miles from Denver, are reached by this line. 

The region made so easily accessible by "The Moffat Road,' ' 
which affords a short route to the big game country of north- 
western Colorado, offers excellent fishing. The waters in that 
vicinity have been seldom visited by fishermen. Rare sport is 
promised to the angler who explores the Grand and Yampa 
rivers and their tributaries. 

It is, perhaps, hardly necessary to say that the expense of the 
foregoing trips is merely nominal, the item of railroad fare in few 
instances exceeding two dollars for the round trip.

ENVER, Colorado Springs and Manitou are not 
the only places in the State which the visitor 
should see. They are not in the mountains. 
They are only the gateways to a land of delight- 
ful resorts and ideal camping sites which lies 
beyond. Among the many points of special interest in the 
interior are : 

Collegiate Range — Overlooking the town of Buena Vista 
and the broad valley of the Arkansas, the Collegiate Range, 
Mt. Princeton, 14,196 feet; Mt. Yale, 14,187 feet; Mt. Har- 
vard, 14,375 feet, make an imposing spectacle. 

F'orty-six miles beyond, the Colorado Midland Railway 
crosses the mountains over Hagerman Pass through the famous 
Busk Tunnel. The scene both on the ascent and descent of 
the mountain is one of panoramic grandeur and the line at this 
point is a marvel of engineering skill. 

Colorado Midland trains for Buena Vista, Leadville, Glen- 
wood Springs, and the numberless camping, fishing and hunting 
resorts intermediate, leave Denver morning and evening, passing 
through Colorado Springs, Manitou, Ute Pass and the famous 
South Park region around Leadville, Hell Gate, and through 
Red Rock Canon. 




A Glimpse of Grand Lake 



The Royal Gorge — This stupendous cleft in the Front 
Range of the Rockies, through which rushes the turbulent 
Arkansas River, is utilized by the Denver & Rio Grande 
Railroad. This climax of all the grandeur of the Grand Caiion 
of the Arkansas lies midway in this wonderful chasm, and the 
view obtained from the trains as they cross the famous hanging 
bridge where the walls of the canon rise to a height of 2,627 
feet above the track, is one long to be remembered. 

Denver & Rio Grande trains through the Royal Gorge leave 
Denver at convenient hours in the morning, passing through 
Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Florence, Canon City and other 
interesting places. They arrive at Parkdale station at the west 
end of the Gorge," in ample time for the visitor to board an 
east-bound train, due in Denver the same evening. 

Salida, division point for four branches of the Denver & Rio 
Grande Railroad; Buena Vista ; Leadville, the largest and 
most famous silver-mining camp in the world j Tennessee Pass, 




JVood^ s Lake 



one of the highest railway passes in Colorado; the Caiion of the 
Grand River; Glenwood Springs, the principal watering place 
of the State; Grand Junction, at the junction of the Grand 
and Gunnison rivers, and many other points of interest in 
Western Colorado, are all on the main line of the Denver & 
Rio Grande Railroad to Salt Lake City. Nearly all the locali- 
ties that have been named are also reached by the Colorado 
Midland Railway, while Colorado & Southern trains reach 
Leadville over passes of stupendous height and through many 
prosperous mining camps in less than half a day's run from 
Denver. A branch of the Colorado & Southern extends to 
Gunnison, through Alpine Tunnel. 

** Around the Circle" — A thousand miles through the 
heart of the Rockies. A four- days' tour over the Denver & 
Rio Grande and Rio Grande Southern Railways and their con- 
nections. The journey is made by way of Pueblo, thence south 
to Cuchara Junction; then west, over La Veta Pass to Alamosa, 



in the San Luis V^alley; thence south by the narrow gauge to 
Antonito, the junction point of a branch line to Santa Fe, New 
Mexico; thence west, the railroad continually crossing and 
recrossing the border between Colorado and New Mexico, 
through Toltec Gorge and other interesting localities to Durango. 
From Durango there are two routes northward to Ridgway — 
one via the Rio Grande Southern Railroad around the great 
Ophir Loop and through Telluride and other noted mining 
camps; the other via the Denver & Rio Grande through the 
beautiful Animas .Canon to Silverton, thence via the Silverton 
Railroad to Red Mountain, and thence over the famous stage 
line to Ouray, from which point the Denver & Rio Grande is 
resumed to Ridgway. From Ridgway the two Circle" trips 
are alike, being northward to Montrose and thence eastward 
through the Black Caiion of the Gunnison and past the famous 
Curecanti Needle. After leaving the town of Gunnison, the 
road traverses the Tomichi Valley and climbs the western slope 
of the Saguache range of mountains, over Marshall Pass. 
Descending the eastern slope of the range, the train soon reaches 
Salida, where a standard gauge train from Leadville is boarded 
and the journey to Denver through the Arkansas Valley and the 
Royal Gorge is completed. 




Sky Line Drive — Canon City 




Glenwood Springs 



Glenwood Springs, in the estimation of a great many 
people, is the most attractive resort in Colorado. On the main 
lines of the Colorado Midland and the Denver & Rio Grande 
railroads, about three hundred miles west of Denver, it is reached 
by a twelve hours ride from that city. You can leave Denver 
or Colorado Springs in the morning and be in Glenwood that 
evening; or, if you prefer, you can take the night train, arriving 
at Glenwood next morning. 

The location is unrivaled — in the very heart of the Rockies. 
The principal hotel, the "Colorado,'* has no superior between 
Denver and the Pacific Coast. Hot weather is unknown; the 
climate is delightful and some of the best hunting and fishing in 
the Rocky Mountain region is to be found in the vicinity. Bear, 
deer and grouse are numerous. The lover of outdoor sport is 
never at a loss for something to do, for at Glenwood the facili- 
ties for lawn tennis, golf, riding, driving and polo are as good 
as the best. 

Glenwood 's greatest attraction, however, is its swimming 

pool, 600 feet long by 110 feet wide, and filled with water of a 

temperature of about 90° . The pool is in use the year round. 

In cold weather the vapor from the water rises and protects 

the head. Warm, covered passages lead from the bath houses to 




the pool, making it possible to 
enter the water without exposure 
to the cold air. As novel a sight 
as one would wish to see is a 
group of bathers enjoying them- 
selves in the pool at Glen- 
wood, bathing in the open air 
during a snow storm — and with 
entire safety. 

In its vapor cave baths Glen- 
wood Springs has another unique 
attraction. The caves are prac- 
tically as Nature left them and 
are heated by springs coming 
out of the rocks. The tempera- 
ture is about 112°. The bath 
house adjoining the caves is 
equipped with showers, douches, 
shampoo slabs and other neces- 
sary appliances. 

The ' Colorado" hotel at 
Glenwood is not a sanitarium; 
and yet it is probably true that 
one is much more likely to be 
benefited by a stay of two or 
three weeks there than if one 
spent the same length of time at 
a sanitarium. The hotel has a 
competent resident physician, 
and if one wishes one can regu- 
late one' s habits and diet in such 
a way as to materially add to the 
benefits for which the climate is 
responsible. The hotel usually 
opens for the summer season 
about May 15. 



In the Pool 




Taylor State Road in Glenwood Canon 

The Fairy Caves, 1,400 feet above Glenwood and directly 
behind the hotel, are most appropriately named. They run for 
a distance of 600 feet into the mountains and are of much more 
than ordinary interest. They are grotesque chambers, lighted 
by electric lights, with stalactites hanging from the ceilings. The 
caves are easily reached on foot or by horseback or carriage. 

The Taylor State Road, running for fifteen miles from Glen- 
wood Hot Springs to Dotsero, through the famous Glenwood 
Carion of the Grand River, affords a most beautiful drive and 
view of wild mountain scenery. No Name and Grizzly creeks, 
which come tumbling down the mountains, empty into the 
Grand River two miles and five miles respectively from Glen- 
wood. Shoshone Falls is eight miles distant. A trail, just 
beyond, up Dead Horse Gulch one and a half miles, leads to the 
wonderful Hanging Lake on the side of the caiion, 1,200 feet 
above the Grand River. Pen cannot picture the delights of 
this mountain climb or the perfect beauty of the lake itself.

The Way to Colorado 





Good-by to Pain and Care ! I take mine ease today : 

Here where these sunny waters break 

And ripples this keen breeze, I shake 

J II burdens from the hearty all weary thoughts away. 

— Whittier. 

CARCELY more than a glance at the map is 
required to understand why the Rock Island - 
F'risco- Chicago & Eastern Illinois Lines ofFer 
the most desirable routes to Colorado. 
Their eastern gateways — Chicago, St. Louis, 
Memphis — provide Union Depots where connections are con- 
veniently and expeditiously made with their direct lines to the 
Rockies. 

The territory traversed possesses unusual interest. Tickets 
from Chicago may be routed through St. Louis on the return 
trip if desired, affording an opportunity to try the excellent ser- 
vice of the model Chicago -St. Louis line : the Chicago & 
Eastern Illinois Railroad, operating three trains daily in each 
direction. 

Of particular importance to the tourist are the exclusive 
facilities in Colorado which these lines provide. 

The Rock Island enters both Colorado Springs and Denver 
directly, obviating the necessity of going through one point to 
reach the other — although one may do so if desired — and afford- 
ing the tourist who is ready to return from Colorado Springs or 
Denver ample direct service without loss of time and additional 
travel. 

The standard of excellence to which the train service of the 
Rock Island -Frisco -Chicago & Eastern Illinois Lines is main- 
tained insures a maximum of comfort enroute. New reclining 



Hasten the Coming, Speed the Parting Guesf ' 

chair cars, coaches, and observation -buffet cars have recently 

been placed in commission, while the Pullman sleeping cars 

are of the latest and most improved type. 

No detail to insure comfort, speed and safety has been 

omitted from the work of construction and maintenance. The 

lines are well built with heavy rail and carefully ballasted with 

crushed rock and gravel, forming a solid and substantial road-bed 

as free as possible from dust. 

The Rock Island's famous "Rocky Mountain Limited" is 
pre-eminently the finest and most complete train between 
Chicago and Colorado. Its equipment is new throughout, 
comprising electric -lighted smoking-room chair car, drawing- 
room sleeping cars and unique buffet -library -observation car 
(with barber and valet to press garments) and mission style 
diner. This train is but one night out, Chicago to Colorado. 
Prom Chicago there is also the Colorado Express and from 
St. Louis and Kansas City the Colorado Express and Colorado 
Flyer, all of a character suited to the extremely high class 
patronage they enjoy. Dining car service on the Rock Island 
and Chicago & Eastern Illinois Lines is under the management 
of the railway company and is continually the object of flattering 
comment by experienced travelers. 

From the Southeast — Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta, 
Macon and Brunswick — the Frisco "Southeastern Limited" 



gives through service far superior to that afforded by any other 
line. A Pullman sleeping car of the latest design runs through- 
out the year from Brunswick or Jacksonville via Birmingham 
and Memphis to Kansas City, where connection is made with 
the Rock Island. During the summer season the run of this 
sleeping car is extended to Colorado Springs, giving through 
service, without change, from the Atlantic Coast to the Rocky 
Mountains. 

Prom Birmingham to Kansas City the "Southeastern Lim- 
ited ' ' carries an observation cafe car in which meals are 
served a la carte. Passengers from all points in the Southeast 
can easily make connection with the Southeastern Limited" 
through car at Atlanta, Birmingham or Memphis, and the con- 
nection is particularly advantageous for those who leave New 
Orleans in the morning. 

The meal service on Frisco Lines is under the able and 
eminently satisfactory management of Fred Harvey. 

Through car service is also maintained between Memphis, 
Tenn. , and Amarillo, Texas, over the Choctaw District of 
Rock Island Lines. Connection is made at Amarillo with Fort 
Worth & Denver City Railway to Pueblo, Colorado Springs and 
Denver. 

Whichever train is used, the passenger may feel assured that 
every care has been taken for his comfort and convenience.

Very low fares are in effect to Colorado, Utah and the 
Pacific Coast almost every month of the year. Liberal stop-over 
and diverse route privileges, especially attractive to the sight-seer, 
a long return limit, and cheap fares for side trips to every nearby 
point of interest enroute are important features to the tourist and 
are provided generously by Rock Island - Frisco - Chicago &

Colorado's Agricultural Riches 






l^ise was the choice which led our sires 
To kindle here their household fires. ' ' 

— Whittier. 

[T is not the purpose of this booklet to do more 
than direct the attention of the reader to the un- 
equaled attractions of Colorado. If it serves to 
awakena desire to get away from routine and 
enjoy the delights of a real vacation, such as 
Colorado offers, its mission has been fulfilled. 

In passing, however, it may not be amiss to briefly answer a 
query or two which will naturally arise in the mind of the 
tourist. 

To one whose conception of Colorado is that of mighty 
peaks and yawning canons only, the fact that it has an area under 
a high degree of cultivation but a trifle less in size than that of 
the entire state of Connecticut will prove something of a surprise. 

When one realizes that Colorado has twenty-five thousand 
square miles of coal fields, and that considerably over forty 
millions of dollars in gold, silver, lead and copper are yielded 
annually by Colorado's mines, it is amazing to learn that the 
value of the farm products very materially exceeds the result of 
her mineral activity. 

There are in Colorado approximately three million acres 
now under cultivation and increasing in productive value 
each year. 

There is ample water for irrigating purposes, and above two 
million acres are brought into astonishing productiveness in 
this way. 

Colorado is a state of happy surprises.

A Bit of Colorado Country ' ' 



Who can forget the luscious Rocky Ford melons, the 
delicious peaches, plums, apples and pears and the Greeley 
potato ? Here they attain such perfection as is seldom found, 
and in bounteous quantity. 

Nearly a half million dollars' worth of potatoes have been 
shipped from Greeley alone in a single season. 

Thousands of acres are devoted to peas, which are distributed 
throughout the civilized world. 

These products play a conspicuous part in Colorado's agri- 
cultural wealth, but are not alone. Tomatoes, celery and 
asparagus thrive and produce wonderfully. 

Wheat, oats, barley and alfalfa seem to outdo themselves in 
generous yields. 

The introduction of the sugar beet marked an epoch in 
Colorado's agricultural history and proved the beginning of a 
profitable industry. Conditions are particularly favorable to its 
successful cultivation, and the soil possesses elements which gives 
the product an unusually high percentage of saccharine matter. 



Irrigation projects are now under way which will enormously 
increase the acreage of this class of land. 

The most interesting, and at the same time, perhaps the most 
spectacular undertaking of its kind in the world is that which is 
rapidly nearing completion in the southwestern part of the State. 
The surplus waters of the Gunnison are taken in a tunnel beneath 
a mountain range for six miles and used to bring into fruitfulness 
approximately one hundred and forty thousand acres in the 
Uncompahgre Valley. Much of this is well adapted for fruit 
raising, but it is all productive and commands high prices. 

Territory which a few years ago was considered of but little 
if any value except for such mineral as it might yield, is coming 
under cultivation and values are increasing rapidly. 

In the eastern part of the State are millions of acres which 
have, until recently, been considered useless, but which may be 
profitably farmed by a system of dry culture. Within the last 
few years nearly a million acres have been put in operation 
under the Campbell system of dry farming, and very satisfactory 
results have been obtained. 

The interest which has been aroused promises to continue, 
and it bids fair to be but a very few years before this vast acreage 
of "dry farm" land is dotted on every hand by thrifty farms, 
each adding its quota of success and participating freely in the 
prosperity which seems assured.
